Central Pancreatectomy
The anatomy of the pancreas and duodenum is extremely complex. Even standard resections are a difficult task and relate to surgery of high complexity. Performing an organ-preserving operation requires the surgeon to have exceptional manual skills, a deep understanding of the nuances of anatomy and vast clinical experience.
Doctors of the leading Israeli clinic Tel Aviv Medical Clinic possess such qualities. Our clinic is the best in Israel. Our doctors have vast practical experience and knowledge in the field of treatment of pathology. We use an individual approach and unique methods of therapy.

Diagnosis
The main tasks of diagnosing the disease are:
- Assessment of the primary lesion: localization, size, invasion of the surrounding structures and major vessels.
- Assessment of the status of regional lymph nodes
- Identification of distant metastases
- Morphological verification
- Identification of postoperative complications and their elimination.
To make a correct diagnosis, the doctor uses the following methods:
- Examination;
- Blood test;
- Biopsy;
- PET-CT;
- Ultrasound;
- Laparoscopy;
- ERCP and others.
Surgery
With a certain type of tumour, its specific location and size, there are situations where it is possible to avoid or significantly reduce the volume of removed pancreatic tissue or neighbouring organs while retaining all their functions. Standard pancreatic resections are complex interventions with a high risk of complications. Organ-preserving operations on the pancreas and duodenum are usually even more complicated – they require special training of the surgeon, excellent knowledge of the anatomy of this area, exceptional manual skills, advanced equipment and specialization in surgical and diagnostic services.
Our clinic has everything necessary for carrying out organ-preserving operations for tumours of the pancreas and duodenum, both by traditional access and using minimally invasive technologies. A central pancreatic resection helps the doctor remove the tumour and preserve the organ.
